Peace...

 We talk about peace. There are so many ideas of what it is and how to obtain it. I believe peace, love, harmony, respect, compassion and right actions are all part of peace.

How can we think about peace with another person without love, respect, compassion and harmony? If we think that peace is just not being at war, then, this is not a complete idea or picture of peace. The first time one person does not respect the other person, we have a conflict and possibly violence, and on a larger scale...war. Respect for our and another person's home, our children, garden, animals and the our earth are as important.

Of course, peace begins in each one of our minds and hearts. Once we are peaceful, we act and we do peaceful things. If most of us adopted this attitude then we would have peaceful communities that spread throughout the  world.

If we could entertain the idea of loving, respecting and honoring life, peace is achievable in our lifetime.


Meditation: contemplate on, Peace begins in my mind and heart. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths, now go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
